Unfortunately, the Trump administration approved the continued use of the pesticide atrazine, manufactured by ChemChina-Syngenta, after a Fish and Wildlife Service review concluded wrongly that it does not pose an extinction risk to endangered animals and plants in the U.S. That decision now clears another major step for the EPA to continue allowing the pesticide to be used across American farms. Atrazine, a pesticide so toxic that it has the ability to turn male frogs into females, has been banned by more than 60 countries, including China, yet it is the second most widely used herbicide in the U.S., trailing only glyphosate. The new atrazine review goes against what the EPA said in 2021, warning that the pesticide could harm more than 1,000 protected animal and plant species across the country. Studies also link atrazine to birth defects, fertility issues and several types of cancer, posing risks to humans as well. Because the pesticide industry has full control over the White House and all of our regulatory agencies, we will not see health-protective actions on pesticides from this administration. Despite all of the campaign promises, what we'll see is more pesticide approvals and more poison in our food, water and environment. The Trump administration continues to throw Americans under the bus to help foreign corporations profit from selling toxic pesticides. AMERICA FIRST? NOT EVEN CLOSE. Tell the White House and Congress that this is not acceptable. They must direct the EPA to join the rest of the world in banning atrazine. We elect our legislators to represent us and not corporations. They must be told they will suffer the consequences in forthcoming election cycles if they continue working against our health and best interests. toxinfreeusa.org/take-action…
